Best explanation of a tobacco plant on the web! This cigar talk proves you don't have to spend a lot on a cigar to get a great smoke. Fuma cigars are made by repurposing the tobacco that's leftover after producing premium cigars. Hear how Ernesto Padilla (pronounced Pah-dee-yah) selects the best of what's left to craft Padilla fumas. Ernesto and Boveda's Rob Gagner discuss how blending tobacco for cigars is like grinding meat for hamburger. Are cigars on In-N-Out Burger's secret menu?
Like any good sit-down in a smoking lounge, the conversation roams—from The Cold War and the Cuban Revolution to botany and the tobacco strength. Recorded in cigar mecca, Miami, Florida.

Box Press is a cigar podcast where talking about the cigars is secondary, says host Rob Gagner. Instead cigar smokers learn about the personalities and the people behind popular cigar brands. Today have a cigar with President and CEO Nick Perdomo Jr. and his son Nicholas Perdomo III, who is National Director of Sales.
They delve into running a family-owned business, working with your dad and farming tobacco as a vertically integrated cigar manufacturer. Filmed on location at Perdomo Cigars headquarters in Miami, Florida.
